Mr. Yost, I upvoted you for this: "Anyone who WANTS Michigan to lose can kiss my ass. That's not a fan, that's not wanting whats best ... that's just bullshit."
Agreed. But to be fair, that's NOT what he said. He said: "Fire Brandon and Fire Hoke. Hopefully getting pasted by sparty will put the final nails in the coffins for both Hoke and Brandon."
He never said, "I hope Michigan loses" or "I hope Sparty kicks our ass" or anything like that. He simply recognized the high probability of Michigan losing (the same as every Vegas oddsmaker has), and hopes it will result in Brandon and Hoke finally getting kicked to the curb.
In short, he's expecting something bad to happen, but hopes that some good comes out of it.

can equivocate all you want, but the implication was clear as a bell.

Do I enjoy seeing little brother win, no. I expect them to kick our butt. I also believe that getting blownout by sparty will help move the firing process for Brandon and Hoke.

no moral victories. I can't believe how many are in the "well, if we keep it close" camp. Fack That! A loss is a loss. moral victories are for losers right now, and the only way this is a victory is if we come away with more points than the other team.
October 22nd, 2014 at 6:31 AM ^
Wash it off.
Or I'm sure Brandon has plenty of block M's in his possession. You know, "just in case," for instances just like this. It's a non issue.
Reminds me of that scene in 'The Other Guys'

the Sparty fans I know eating this up referenced the "Go Blue" over Spartan Stadium last year.
October 22nd, 2014 at 6:37 AM ^
Go paint Sparty Maize and Blue.

If you're going to be showing "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" video clips, can I make a request?

But didn't Jennifer Jason Leigh hook up with a guy named Ron Johnson? Would that make it a UM-related post?
October 22nd, 2014 at 8:49 AM ^
Unfortunately, I don't think a group of fans acting independently is quite as bad as the AD paying for skywriting. Maybe it should be, "Pride continues unabated even while the fall is ongoing."
Man, it's too bad they probably felt pretty comfortable doing this, knowing this team is so horribly coached that there is almost no chance of this being thrown back in their faces.

fire that money expunging, money wasting S.O.B.
October 22nd, 2014 at 6:48 AM ^
I think that, by the rules of "juju", the culprit's next exam will have a section where the answer is either "Bobby Williams" or "John L. Smith", depending on the painful (for them) moment in Spartan football being described. Their next bluebook will be the answer to this - explain the following: "That's a dang coaching mistake."

Nothing quite shows your superiority like spray-painting a piece of metal. I get that this stuff is all about rivalries, but all you are really accomplishing is making an operations/facilities person at UM have to waste some of his time cleaning up after a bunch of college kids.

...of having our team clean it with toothbrushes. They just don't seem as passionate about this game as the other guys.
As an old-schooler, I prefer retaliation to be done with blue paint, not maize. I superstitiously suspect our slide into mediocrity can be tied to an emphasis on maize over blue, but that could just be a residual bad beer effect on my brain.

We will go to paint sparty with blue and yellow paint, we will accidently mix them together while painting and sparty will become green in the process..... Again, they practiced painting sparty right, they just didn't execute when it counted on Main Street....blah, blah, blah.....
October 22nd, 2014 at 8:11 AM ^
Oh, I get that Michigan does it too; I remember some members of the band(?) painting Sparty one year I was there. I guess as I've gotten older and started to clean up for a little kid, I'm starting to see that the people who really suffer aren't the students or athletes but instead some guy or gal who has to scrub cheap Meijer paint off school property.

Oh, for years. I remember the paintball drive-by circa 1997.

How great would this be, especially with sparty under 24/7guard?

to make sure this didn't happen. I don't know if they didn't this year or if they don't normally start till later in the week

Instead of worrying about firing our AD, perhaps our students should be concentrating on supporting everybody involved with our program and (literaly) defending our turf. Asleep at the wheel and drowning in toxicity... This would not have happened in the olds days.

I know that we are going into the game is underdogs (currently 17 points, I believe), but I am personally hoping that we go into that toilet of a stadium and curb stomp Sparty.
October 22nd, 2014 at 8:31 AM ^
...and they are going to practice and prepare really well at being mad about this. /sorry
Damn I hope our boys get play angry this weekend. I don't expect a W, but I'm with a lot of others on this...put up a damn fight.
October 22nd, 2014 at 7:35 AM ^
Harbaugh would sit on the M all week to protect it. Heard it from Bacon so must be true.

It sounds trivial, but it's just one more thing that adds to the perception of decline. We couldn't even execute a simple thing like guarding the M.
It's the icon of how far we've fallen.

Yeah because that wouldn't have been a waste of time.
